As the photo shows the driveway is all ready to be poured. It was completed on Friday, Tony who also did the house slab did a top job, more photos will follow, its good to see that some tradesmen are still perfectionist....<br />On the inside we have finished all the painting, the kitchen vanities and laundry are all completed. However we are waiting on the tiler to complete the job prior to a couple of plumbing items and carpet.Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18098768302472898394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473897650406641695.post-30107369119302960382011-07-12T21:04:00.003+10:002012-04-18T19:13:05.741+10:00Fence Done<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTeivy-ylmpU40-Ky5vpHDU6QNkcK6CmH6VCjvP8uRGyGqCmCMHndnesfd4LT8BVU2ZIGy5EFjLpJT-UJyMxFHycLm9Sy1Hm1KvndqJOJB0oLCQpJXbSvYMoq-wERMDIkJu_nx1DweIw3P/s1600/Camera+047.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTeivy-ylmpU40-Ky5vpHDU6QNkcK6CmH6VCjvP8uRGyGqCmCMHndnesfd4LT8BVU2ZIGy5EFjLpJT-UJyMxFHycLm9Sy1Hm1KvndqJOJB0oLCQpJXbSvYMoq-wERMDIkJu_nx1DweIw3P/s320/Camera+047.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628420214755246834" border="0" /></a><br />The fence is almost finished, it looks great.

Our system was connected to the grid on the 16th....Shame our Government wants to reduce our rebates, we are after all only trying to be more energy efficient.Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18098768302472898394noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473897650406641695.post-34889634548413113762011-05-10T18:45:00.004+10:002012-04-18T19:16:00.185+10:00Internal Finish<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMcOCMD-M4et7LxsTjM6zCkhZ_1X5N_qQWKJ-Dy3ePL5FYiccClbOLDHMFoQcUYPqgqVoQnbGpfRkOr0EHf5XeiYv0vZnP2iBDGr6ht_qCYaHJV3xY3IESIOWnAIR07sI59Fx454KZ4QZG/s1600/03052011365.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMcOCMD-M4et7LxsTjM6zCkhZ_1X5N_qQWKJ-Dy3ePL5FYiccClbOLDHMFoQcUYPqgqVoQnbGpfRkOr0EHf5XeiYv0vZnP2iBDGr6ht_qCYaHJV3xY3IESIOWnAIR07sI59Fx454KZ4QZG/s320/03052011365.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605006476315292706" border="0" /></a>OK, Once again it has been a while since my last post....As you can see the painter has completed the textured finish on the brick work, the timber panelling and the door have been primed. On the inside the gyprockers have been very busy for a couple of weeks and have sheeted and finished the job on the 4th. The internal photo shows the kitchen area with the coffered ceiling, the pantry on the right and the fridge space on the left.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKZ7SOXFTqQuqA_a4V1S4CPuDQhdNhMlpNGSxlfWphLqVbsRQSTHpP9pxlozoYTFfwiENsVGp-9_1uRUZPD1Kfgil6vO5nQhw2In4R72fpDYgZdAr6S9hDHpjBJyTZnS82hgUDaQiqpV_P/s1600/03052011370.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKZ7SOXFTqQuqA_a4V1S4CPuDQhdNhMlpNGSxlfWphLqVbsRQSTHpP9pxlozoYTFfwiENsVGp-9_1uRUZPD1Kfgil6vO5nQhw2In4R72fpDYgZdAr6S9hDHpjBJyTZnS82hgUDaQiqpV_P/s320/03052011370.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605006210438082962" border="0" /></a>Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18098768302472898394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473897650406641695.post-32652858383583173432011-04-18T20:02:00.006+10:002012-04-18T19:16:25.267+10:00No Scaffolding.....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8eEnbeHzVBOqw9pkle7sfXxnXOv_cB5TAVcgFkJlBn2KiKjzhhO85ErpuEC7FHcORTXXgJaKz59BS3rgRiy339SOIPdMKYylcXt-HQWH539RtZYyUoHD1U_G0vglsxOxavHDMDv0x624N/s1600/18042011318.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8eEnbeHzVBOqw9pkle7sfXxnXOv_cB5TAVcgFkJlBn2KiKjzhhO85ErpuEC7FHcORTXXgJaKz59BS3rgRiy339SOIPdMKYylcXt-HQWH539RtZYyUoHD1U_G0vglsxOxavHDMDv0x624N/s320/18042011318.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596863661612644450" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd-zR2oBsDBaP4RYGyQ2OxrROUWDQtEtewYZFyc9eb1O6jugclGu7aB2UA20NSlDg57tWz-ZKf1YH6a9zPsLU4vM_2L82jUuQIu4MK0Sa1ltyAVW_l5NutW34L9hHVyFPHH65YlaSWnS9k/s1600/18042011313.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd-zR2oBsDBaP4RYGyQ2OxrROUWDQtEtewYZFyc9eb1O6jugclGu7aB2UA20NSlDg57tWz-ZKf1YH6a9zPsLU4vM_2L82jUuQIu4MK0Sa1ltyAVW_l5NutW34L9hHVyFPHH65YlaSWnS9k/s320/18042011313.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596863469879474146" border="0" /></a><br />It has been a while since my last post, we have been busy with the internal rough-out. The plumbing, electrical and air-con are all done. Last weekend we insulated the walls and ran all the cables for the theatre and house speakers. The painter has started with the rockcote finish and hopes to be completed by weeks end. Today the gyprock arrived and the installers will start on Thursday and have plans to work over the weekend to get it done. The front photo shows the sealer white finish and the back view shows the completed colour.Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18098768302472898394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473897650406641695.post-34687371155303155692011-04-07T19:45:00.002+10:002011-04-07T20:05:42.298+10:00Scaffolding Removed<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8dbwogqfdtcMl5738F6HZ6HqnrM9ZEeTSGvPUd2iACMEL9o8aWO1YTVLqdgXV4S_7czCpTyuJJzNiSoGIBkrUKrU7hn_BuLk5Q5864IlvOby1NtPMeINjqQ6RtXoKp_c8HHSvfHZgLn0K/s1600/07042011287.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8dbwogqfdtcMl5738F6HZ6HqnrM9ZEeTSGvPUd2iACMEL9o8aWO1YTVLqdgXV4S_7czCpTyuJJzNiSoGIBkrUKrU7hn_BuLk5Q5864IlvOby1NtPMeINjqQ6RtXoKp_c8HHSvfHZgLn0K/s320/07042011287.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592778224287284626" border="0" /></a><br />Well it has been a very wet week, with consistent showers most days and today rain fell mostly all day until when I took this photo. The painter has been able to get some work done around the eaves and windows with the rockcoat finish and sealing, now with the scaffolding removed they should have a free run to roll a bit on Friday, fingers crossed for fine weather....<br /><br />While this has been happening our plumber has been busy roughing in the water supply and will start the drainage on Friday. Our Electrician hopefully will be starting on Friday which will enable us to start installing insulation over the weekend.Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18098768302472898394noreply@blogger.com0
